E: 02/10 Win a trip to Istanbul to study the work of Mimar Sinan (architects? effort)

Architects Journal

This one is a tad specefic :o but anyhoo here it is!

In November the AJ and Turkishceramics will take a team of British architects, including Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, DSDHA, Bureau de Change and Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, to Istanbul and Edirne to study the work of the 16th century Ottoman maestro, Mimar Sinan, a contemporary of Palladio and Michelangelo.

The aim of the trip is to gather material for the AJ/Turkishceramics book, Sinan: the first starchitect. The book - with an exhibition to follow in May - explores the life, work and wider world of Mimar Sinan with contributions from leading and emerging contemporary architects and expert writers.
To win a chance to join this exclusive project we want you to highlight ceramics in a building you admire with a hand-drawn study of it, and a typed description of the role ceramics play in enhancing your chosen building’s architectural qualities.

Drawings can be in pen, pencil, or paint but must be hand-drawn.

The winner will join the selected architects and writers on a trip to Turkey and study the ceramic tile-work used by Sinan on his key projects (w/c November 16).

Submissions should be digital files (Microsoft Word documents and jpegs of less than 10MB in total) and should be emailed to mimarsinan@emap.com.

The deadline for entries is 2 October.
